Here are ten footballers who seemed irreplaceable, but eventually, were replaced.
1. Sergio Aguero - Manchester City
Aguero was a goal-scoring machine for Manchester City, but injuries started to take a toll on his body. In 2022, Manchester City signed Erling Haaland, who has been exceptional, scoring 47 goals in his first season for the club, including 12 in the UEFA Champions League.
2. Lorenzo Insigne - Napoli
Insigne was Napoli's star player and captain, but Victor Osimeh has proven to be a worthy successor since arriving in 2020.
3. Edinson Cavani - Paris Saint-Germain
Cavani was PSG's all-time goal scorer, but the arrival of Kylian Mbappe changed fans' perspectives. Mbappe scored 203 goals in just four years, surpassing Cavani's record of 200 goals in seven years.
4. Leandro Trossard - Brighton
Trossard was once considered Brighton's golden boy, but he did not live up to expectations. Kaoru Mitoma has proven to be a fan favorite, scoring 10 goals and providing seven assists in 35 matches.
5. Philipp Lahm - Bayern Munich
Lahm was a legend at Bayern Munich, but Joshua Kimmich has filled his shoes since his retirement.
6. Iker Casillas - Real Madrid
Casillas was the backbone of Real Madrid's defense for 16 years, but Keylor Navas broke his record for clean sheets in the 2015/16 season.
7. Roberto Carlos - Real Madrid
Roberto Carlos was a key player for Real Madrid who played s a left-back, but Marcelo has filled in his shoes since 2007, winning six La Liga titles and five Champions League trophies.
8. Vincent Kompany - Manchester City
When Kompany left in 2019, Manchester City struggled to fill the gap in their backline, but Ruben Dias has played a vital role in their success over the past few years.
9. Thibaut Courtois - Atletico Madrid
Courtois was out of this world for Atletico Madrid, but Jan Oblak has not only filled his shoes but also won the exact same titles.
10. Timo Werner - RB Leipzig
Christopher Nkunku has proven to be a more versatile replacement for Werner in RB Leipzig, playing a crucial role in their DFB-Pokal victory in 2022.
